Challenges in delivering instructional materials—particularly on the topics of food chains and webs in science—and limited media variation, as well as low participation and activity among fifth-grade students at SDN X Semarang City, motivated this research. The study focuses on developing the "Doraemon Smart Box," an innovative learning medium tailored to food chain and web concepts in science subjects. This research aims to enhance student participation, offer a more diverse range of educational tools, and facilitate conceptual understanding, creativity, and active engagement in the learning process. The research adopts the Research and Development (RnD) methodology, utilizing the ADDIE development model, which comprises analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. Validity tests demonstrated excellent feasibility, with material experts awarding a score of 97.33% and media experts 94.66%. The material is presented in a clear, systematic manner, with new concepts delivered engagingly through visually appealing features, high-quality images, balanced color composition, and user-friendly operation—all contributing to increased student interest and motivation. Feedback from teacher and student response questionnaires further supports the effectiveness of the media, with scores of 100% and 88.5% respectively, both classified as very good.
